The story of the money merchant and the gangster

Once upon a time, there was a money changer who opened his shop in the coin market and began to buy and sell. One day, on his way home from his shop, carrying a bag of money, he passed a gang of thieves. The thieves looked at the bag of money with envy, but for a moment they could think of no good way. Then one of them, a cunning fellow, boasted to his comrades, "I have found a way to get the bag of money out of his hand."
